The Admiral of Hogwarts

"You have a point." After listening to her younger brother's analysis of the two major problems in the wizarding world, Hermione nodded in agreement.

At least, she had already learned a lot about modern society before entering Hogwarts, and after becoming a ship girl, she had a more thorough understanding of modern industrial society.

In the past, the main reason wizards were more powerful than ordinary people was that the power of magic allowed them to possess productivity that ordinary people could never achieve.

For example, the wizards of ancient Egypt participated in the construction of the pyramids. According to wizarding world records, one of them could even be worth thousands of laborers.

At the same time, because of the power of magic, wizards were able to break away from the limitations of food, clothing, housing, and transportation earlier than ordinary people and devote themselves to the research and understanding of the entire world.

Therefore, until the First Industrial Revolution, the development speed of wizards was higher than that of ordinary people. And many of these advantages have been retained to this day.

For example, the Elixir of Life, the Floo Network and Apparition that can allow people to instantly travel long distances, and even the Time-Turner that can travel through time.

However, with the outbreak of the Second and Third Industrial Revolutions in the ordinary human world, the development speed of the ordinary human world increased geometrically, while the development speed of wizards remained unchanged.

The most important point here is that, relative to ordinary people, the production and research of wizards is closer to modern workshops and does not adopt the more efficient modern socialized mass production.

It is undeniable that top wizards like Dumbledore, Grindelwald, or Nicolas Flamel can accomplish more scientific research on their own than one or even several research institutes of ordinary people.

But relative to those research institutes that can concentrate the wisdom of the masses and lower individual requirements, the difficulty of giving birth to a top wizard in the magical world is obviously much greater.

At the same time, wizards and ordinary people do not have much difference in IQ. Therefore, in terms of researching problems, the biggest advantage of wizards is only that their experimental efficiency is higher, which can greatly speed up research, and there is no advantage as imagined.

Worse, if the inability to cooperate in production can still be changed, the wizarding world's population, this hard constraint, has become the most fatal flaw for wizards.

You need to know that, whether it is technology or magic, the deeper the research, the more complex the content will be, and the number of researchers needed to figure out those problems will increase geometrically.

But unfortunately, the population of the wizarding world combined is only equivalent to a small country, so it is impossible to produce many researchers at the forefront.

And after this series of problems accumulated, the biggest feeling for wizards is that ordinary people are getting stronger and stronger, while wizards are gradually lagging behind the times, leading to various crises.

Back then, Grindelwald discovered this. That's why he was able to bewitch so many wizards to support his views and launch that famous crisis in the wizarding world.

"In fact, whether it is wizards, ordinary people, mermaids, goblins, or even a series of intelligent creatures, they are all members of humanity. The difference between everyone is not that big." Renown stated the core of the ship girls' plan.

"If we are trapped on Earth, everyone will naturally worry about the problem of living space. But if we put our vision into the vast universe, the problem of living space will not be a problem for a long time."

"That's right." Hermione looked at Renown with admiring eyes. "It is obviously not a long-term solution for wizards to hide like this, but a plan like Grindelwald's will only drag down the development speed of the entire human race."

"Although he claimed back then that he did not hate those ordinary people who could not use magic, but only wanted to transfer the dominance of human society from ordinary people to wizards."

"But in reality, it is equivalent to replacing the constantly accelerating development speed of ordinary people with the unchanging development speed of wizards, which is equivalent to slowing down the development level of the entire human race."

"Yes, don't forget that the resources on Earth are limited. If we can't find new sources of resources before we exhaust the Earth's resources, then we can only slowly wait for death in this world." Hugo nodded.

"However, there is a key question here. After all, wizards have gone further on the path of evolution than ordinary humans, which is undeniable. How do you ensure that this objective inequality does not affect the development of the plan?"

"It's very simple, it's enough as long as everyone masters extraordinary abilities." Renown said something that shocked the Granger siblings at this time. "If there is no such foundation, we would not be able to propose such a plan."

"Grindelwald was right about one thing, compared to wizards, there are simply too many ordinary people, so it is natural that they will have more ideas."

"And in order to prevent them from leaking the secrets here, turning ordinary them into extraordinary us, or giving them a chance to become extraordinary us, is the most important thing."

"How to change this?" Hermione opened her mouth in surprise. "If the boundary between wizards and ordinary people could be crossed so easily, there wouldn't still be Squibs in the wizarding world."

"This change is certainly not turning ordinary people into wizards, because whether or not one can become a wizard is a purely genetic problem. Although we have some research in this area, it is far from the point of practical application." Renown shook her head.

"However, because of Your Excellency Admiral, we can transform the power in those people's hearts into real extraordinary power. It's similar to the priests or paladins in DND tabletop games."

Hermione was a little confused when she heard this, but Hugo immediately reacted. After all, he is an Ancient God Admiral, so it is normal to master some of the unique powers of gods.

"The object they are connected to through faith should not be me." After thinking for a while, Hugo suddenly said. "Because if it were me, I should be able to feel it."

"The main connection objects are the Soviet Union and Saint George." Renown explained. "Because they have the noblest souls of mankind, we have chosen them as objects of faith."

"The reason for doing this is because the biggest characteristic of Ancient God faith is that it will also cause spiritual impact on believers, so we naturally have to choose the most spiritually noble existence among us as everyone's object of faith."

"Interestingly, the extraordinary powers mastered by those ordinary people who choose different faith goals are also different."

"For example, those who believe in the ideology represented by the Soviet Union master the power of dispelling magic, which can weaken or even ignore most magic."

"Even when many of them gather together, the anti-magic energy field surrounding their bodies can form a large-scale energy field that affects an entire space, forming a large area of chaotic magic zone."

"In addition, I don't know why, those ordinary people who go through the faith channel from the Soviet Union seem to be significantly stronger in science and technology than before, so many of the scientists working here now have chosen the Soviet Union as their faith anchor point."
